GRUESOME!!
Tarantulas are very strong spiders. They pounce on their prey and hold it still with their legs while their fangs inject poison. The poison paralyzes the prey and a special fluid from the spider's stomach digests the soft parts. The spider then sucks up the insides of its victim's body.


Ancient ship discovered intact


Ancient ship discovered intact
A 1,500 year old wooden ship has been discovered in the Black Sea off the coast of Turkey. The unique oxygen-free environment in the deep water of the Black Sea has allowed the ship to be preserved so well, that it looks like a modern ship. Unlike other oceans, the deep water of the Black Sea does not circulate, and therefore contains no oxygen. This oxygen-free environment is perfect for preserving artifacts.
